A man fired several shots during an argument on a CTA bus Tuesday night in the South Side Chatham neighborhood, police said. No one was hit by gunfire.
About 10:25 p.m., two men were arguing on a 79th Street bus near Cottage Grove Avenue, when one of them took out a handgun and fired several shots at the other man, Chicago police said.
The gunfire did not hit anyone but damaged a handrail on the bus, police said. The shooter and victim both left the bus. No one was in custody, police said.
Five passengers were on the bus during the shooting, police said.
